Spring Forage Workshop
Join Nature's Chef for a day of plant connection. Explore the abundance of wild-foods that spring time offers. From common weeds to budding trees, I’ll be sharing my favourite spring wild-foods with you, and how to introduce them to your diet, while greatly improving your micro-biome and strengthening our relationship to this earth.

What we'll cover:
- What is out there to eat and not to eat
- Medicinal plants
- Understanding plant families
- Ethical harvesting practices
- How to process efficiently
- Preserving methods
- Preparing wild-foods so they are delicious

Learn what the plants can teach us, understand every plant communicates and has a purpose. As we remember how to tend the plants it can build resilient community. Plants have amazing capability to heal us, and make us thrive!
